Definitions

  • Mammalian steroid 5a-reductase an enzyme present in mammalian tissues including skin, male genitalia and prostate gland, catalyzes the conversion of the steroidal hormone testosterone to the steroidal hormone dihydrotestosterone (17 ⁇ -hydroxy-5 ⁇ -androstan-3-one).
  • Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) are both androgenic hormones and they are the primary androgenic steroids in males. These steroids are responsible for the physical characteristics which differentiate males from females. DHT, however, is much more potent than testosterone as an androgen and it acts as an end-organ effector in certain tissues, particularly in mediating growth. Furthermore, the formation of DHT occurs primarily in the target cells themselves as a result of the reduction of testosterone by 5a-reductase.
  • DHT skin responds to androgens and is an active site of androgen metabolism.
  • testosterone is converted to DHT in the skin by the action of 5a-reductase.
  • Testosterone metabolism in the skin may at times be abnormally excessive and have undesirable effects as a result of the DHT formed.
  • DHT is involved in the pathogenesis of acne, including acne vulgaris, as well as other androgen associated conditions [See Price, Arch. Dermatol. 111, 1496 (1975)].
  • Agents which are capable of blocking the formation of DHT from testosterone in skin, such as by inhibiting the activity of 5a-reductase, would therefore be useful in the treatment of acne.
  • the present invention relates a group of compounds which are 4-amino- ⁇ 4,6 -steroids and to the use of these compounds as inhibitors of 5a-reductase. More particularly, the present invention relates to aminosteroid compounds having the following general formula 1 wherein R is hydrogen or C 1 - 4 alkyl; R 1 is C 2 - 6 alkanoyl, -(C 1-6 alkyl)-OZ', -(C 2 - 6 alkyl)-(OZ') 2 or -A-C(O)-Y; Z 1 is hydrogen, C 1-6 alkyl, phenyl-(C 1-4 alkyl), Y'-substituted phenyl)-(C 1-4 alkyl), C 1-6 alkanoyl, benzoyl or Y'-substituted benzoyl wherein Y 1 is methyl, halogen or methoxy; A is absent or is present as an alkylene of 1 to 6 carbon atoms; Y is
  • the various alkyl groups referred to above can be straight or branched-chain and can be exemplified, with the carbon limitations as provided, by methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl and hexyl.

  • the individual pure optical isomers are each part of this invention.
  • the halogen substituents referred to above are fluorine, chlorine and bromine.

  • the C 3 - 6 cycloalkyl groups can exemplified by cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl.
  • -NR 3 R 4 can be exemplified by 1-pyrrolidinyl, 1-piperidinyl or hexahydro-1 H-azepin-1-yl.
  • R 1 is -A-C(O)-Y and A is absent, then the carbonyl function is attached directly to the steroid ring; when A is alkylene of 1 to 6 carbon atoms examples of A are methylene, ethylene, ethylidene, propylene and tetramethylene.
  • R 1 and R 2 are combined as -O-CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 ---, a spiro-tetrahydrofuran structure results.
  • a preferred group of compounds are those in which R 2 is hydrogen and X is (H)(H). Further preferred are those compounds in which R 2 is hydrogen and R 5 is methyl. Still further preferred as potent 5a-reductase inhibitors are those compounds in which R 1 is -C(O)NR 3 R 4 , wherein R 3 and R 4 are each independently hydrogen or C 1 - 6 alkyl.
  • those compounds wherein R 1 is -(C i - 6 alkyl)-OZ 1 wherein Z 1 is defined as above and, particularly, where R 1 is -CH(CH 3 )-CH 2 0Z 1 , are further useful because, in addition to their activity as inhibitors of 5a-reductase, they also inhibit C 17-20 lyase.
